Women Returners is partnering with EY, one of the leading international professional services firms, on their new Reconnect programme, providing a route back into business for talented individuals with strong industry exposure. The programme is designed for people who have been on a career break for between 2 and 10 years.

What are they offering?

EY will bring you into their business for a paid period of 12 weeks, starting in September 2016. You will work on client projects, drawing from your previous experience, skills and knowledge; at the end of the programme you will have the opportunity to apply to join EY permanently. You will be given support in this role to succeed, with a thorough induction, coaching from Women Returners, and mentoring.

Opportunities exist, at manager level and above, across the business including roles in Advisory, Transactions, Tax and Assurance.

Who are they looking for?

They are looking for candidates with a background in a Big 4, management consultancy, financial services or blue chip commercial company, or in HR/talent consulting.

You will be keen to re-start your professional life and to join a multi-cultural, inclusive and diverse workplace where creativity and flexibility is encouraged and where team work and independent work are part of the ethos.

Why EY?

EY are investing heavily to be the employer of choice in professional services. They can offer you a range of experiences and assignments that will inspire your professional development and help you move closer to your long-term goals.
